Dor – uma lembrança

OKNA invites you to a show of an audiovisual experience, resulting from the latest artistic residency hosted at OKNA Cultural Centre. The show projects and reflects on the feeling of DOR (Romanian language)/SAUDADE (Portuguese language), the untranslatable state of longing often in Romanian and Portuguese traditional music.

In terms of music, based on old traditional poetry, the songs propose a journey through various themes of this longing: love, destiny, memory and nature. These are put under a new light mixing classical, jazz and electronic music, preserving the heritage of traditional motives and bringing them in contemporary arrangements of traditional pieces and personal compositions by multi instrumentalist singer Andreea-Cristina Mircea, arranged together with Hugo Caseira and Manuel Brito. The group will offer a live experience of electronic music, traditional instruments and voice performance.

The visual experience will include video-mapping and sound reactive visuals through the eyes of intermedia artists Cristina Pop-Tiron, Márton Gáspárik Pál and Örs Tamás Rezi, immersing the audience in a multi sensorial experience through the lyric-video interaction, symbolism and personal narratives.
Project supported by the i-Portunus initiative, funded by the Creative Europe Programe, developed with the support of Instituto Cultural Romeno Lisboa.
